WHO ISPARED?
Pared is a network of independent Catholic schools founded in 1982 by a group of Australian parents and educators. Inspired by the teachings of Saint Josemaría Escrivá and rooted in Catholic faith, Pared was built on a clear vision: to place the family at the heart of each child’s education.
Today, that vision continues through schools that partner closely with parents to support their child’s growth in character, faith, and purpose.
Our Why
Raising children today is more complex than ever. Parents are navigating a world of competing influences, shifting values, and mounting pressures all while trying to raise confident, grounded, and virtuous young people.
At Pared, we believe parents shouldn’t have to face this journey alone. That’s why we exist: to support parents in their vital role as the first and most important educators of their children, helping them form capable, faith-filled adults ready to thrive at school and beyond.
What We Do
We partner with families to provide a personalised, values-driven education that nurtures the whole person.
At every Pared school, students receive one-on-one mentoring, parents are equipped with practical resources and guidance, and educators work hand-in-hand with families to reinforce character, faith, and academic growth.
We have four campuses in Australia; Tangara School for Girls and Redfield College in the Hills District (NSW), Montgrove College and Wollemi College in Western Sydney (NSW).
Our Approach
Our model is simple yet powerful: parents, mentors, and educators form a united team around each student. Every family is paired with a dedicated mentor who supports both parents and child throughout the school journey.
Through regular coaching, personal goal-setting, and shared values, this approach strengthens family bonds, fosters character development, and helps each child grow into a confident, capable adult grounded in faith.
PEOPLE OF PARED
We at the Pared Foundation, are made up of parents, educators and professionals who work collaboratively with a shared mission and vision of building families up with integrity, fortitude and confidence.
